Description

With an introduction by Zadie Smith into the intrigue and violence of indo-china comes Pyle, a young idealistic American sent to promote democracy through a mysterious ‘third force’. As his naive optimism starts to cause bloodshed, his friend Fowler, a cynical foreign correspondent, finds it hard to stand aside and watch. But even as he intervenes he wonders why: for the sake of politics, or for love?
